Well, it got too cold here to finish all the painting I had wanted to do. I still had the belly pan, front dirt guards, and battery box to finish but they can wait until spring. I assembled all the parts I had done and two nights ago got it fired up and drove it back into the shop for the winter. I left the hood off in case anything needed adjustments, and once I got the pony plug wires swapped to their proper positions it fired right up and both engines performed flawlessly. Next I'll finish the lettering on the radiator and apply the decals, get the cutting edges on the blade, finish the battery box fabrication and wire it and install lights. I'll post more pictures then.

Hi Toby, Beautiful looking machine you have there. Do you have the starter button on the starter or the later solenoid start set up on the pony.

The first pic showed me the answer to my question.

Toby, you have obviously put a lot of work into that tractor. It looks beautiful. GWH

Thanks for the compliments, it's been a lot of work but fun at the same time.

Dozerman51, your starter button bracket used to be on this machine. When I got it the original starter was missing but I had all the components to utilize the plunger switch style. I fabricated a bracket to hold the mag switch only and was in business.

Hi Toby, If you want an original 6B7889 bracket for the mag switch, I have 2 of them. Let me know and I'll just send it to you. Joe:D
